mons this afternoon Sir James Ferguson,
Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign
Office, intimated that no reply had yet been
received from the United States govern
ment to Lord Salisbury's dispatch of March
"a. in relation to the fisheries dispute. Sim
liar measures would be adopted for the
approaching fisheries season as were
in force tho last season. and
the government would use these
powers with moderation. and hoped TINT
United States vessels would avoid making
it necessary to call them into requistion.
Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
replying TO Mr.. Gladstone, promised to pro-
cure during the recess the returns Of Irish
agrarian crime to the end OF May he
added that since the introduction of
the crimes bill there had been a
marked improvement in the condition
of Ireland. w. II. Smith, of the
Treasury, said that the governments views
regarding the amendments 10 the crimes
bin were, that those amendments which re-
lated TO intimidation should be considered
and decided upon in committee. The others
were not of serious nature.
Timothy Healy said the governments
statement was very unsatisfactory. He
suggested that the bill be recommtted for
consideration Of the white boy clause. Mr..
Balfour said that in no case would the white
boy acts be embodied in the bill, but it was
proposed TO add offenses covered by the
White boy acts, where such action might be
thought desirable. IL was a question, how
ever, whether there were any such ofenses.
Mr.. Healy-Will such an amendment be
moved with the Speaker in the chair.
Mr.. Balfour-Yes.
MIR. Healy-Then, win raise the entire
question.
Mr.. Marum (Nationalist) moved an addi-
tional proviso TO the effect that while cases
of boycotting may be tried by magistrates,
cases involving conspiracy and other serious
charges must be tried by the Superior Court.

opposed the amendment Mr.. Smith moved
cioture, and motion was carried. The amend

to clause two, the effect of which would be

to clause two, the effect of which would be
to exclude both amendments.
Mr.. Healy asked if Mr.. Smith was in
order in moving cloture in the middle of
another mans speech. The chairman re-
piled that Mr. Healy had reseated himself
before the motion was made. Mr. Healy
then asked if cloture could be moved over
any particular portion of q clause before
being first moved on particular question
before the committee. The chairman was
of the opinion that cloture should first be
moved on the question before the committee.
Mr.. Smiths amendment was then carried
under cloture by vote of 100 to ll6.
Maurice Healy, Nationalist, moved that the
word threats be substituted for ''intimi-
dation." Mr.. Balfour said the government
could not afford to restrict the definition one
iota, and could not accept the amend
ment. A stormy all night sitting is ex-
pected The government is said to be de-
termined TO pass the second clause of the
crimes bill at all hazards.
Maurice Healy's amendment was rejected
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre Q4iberaD moved to
omit the words unlawful assembly" The
motion was rejected
Mr.. Healy moved to report progress.
Mr., Smith opposed the motion
Mr.. Healys motion was rejected after dis
cussion, during which Mr. Morley declared
that it was physically impossible to dispose
of the clause as desired by the government
Mr. Smith moved to put the next four lines
covering the fifteen Parnellite amendments.
MIR. Healy protested that Mr.. Smith was
out of order, and the chair assented Mr.
Chance, member of South Kilkenny, Nation
alist, moved that the chairman leave the
chair MIR. Smith interposed with motion
for cloture. Carried Mr.. Chances motion
was negatived Mr.. Smith renewed his
motion relative to the Parnell amendments,
and it was carred-25S to 49,
Other amendments were negatived, Mr..
Smith again carrying cloture, amid cries of
"Shalner and "Disgiaceful !" from the Irish
bench. Mr.. Smith then moved to put the
remaining four lines of the subsection into
three, excluding seven amendments The
motion was carried under cloture by PA to
100.

adopted by a vote of 235 to 103. The House

THE CONTEMPT CASE.
Another Chapter of the EN-
bree-Duck Creek War.

AS noted by the HERALD last eve
ming, the trial OF the Embrec election
managers for contempt OF court in
holding the incorporation election
contrary to the injunction Of the court
began in tho afternoon.
Judge Burke attorney for Embree
responded at length claiming substan-
TALLY that the defendants had the
highest regard for the court, and had
not intended to show any disrespect
for II. He claimed that the first writ
OF injunction granted by Hon. Geo. A.
Mccall stayed the election-then about
to take place, and that on trial the
first of this term of the district court
that injunction was dissolved, TIE
court holding that the injunction h
been illegally made; that order ana
consequent proceedings being illegal,
SO must all the proceedings thereto be
null and void; that their election was
held OH an order of the County Judge
issued Oct. 2S, for Nov. IL; that if The
Injunction proceedings were illegal
how could they be guilty of contempt
in their case!
Capt. Wozencraft, representing
plaintiff, replied; and counsel on both
sides read decisions bearing on the
case.
Judge Aldridge dismissed the case
against Mr.. j. e. Erwin, but an
nounced that in the cases of DR.. j. b.
Ryan, w. l.. Hunter, j. ID. Robinson,
G. II. Wallace and S. L. Pipes he would
